If you enjoy listening to Real Refreshment, we've got another great show that you'll want to add to your playlist. Let us introduce you to Team Us!For husband and wife Ted and Ashleigh Slater, the 1987 film The Princess Bride is frequently playing in their home. For them, one of the most memorable characters is Inigo Montoya. His patience and persistence as he hunts for the six-fingered man remind them that it takes time to execute a “death wish.” But what does a “death wish” have to do with marriage?While they joined a new team when they promised, “I do,” that doesn't mean the unity and cooperation is going to be easy or automatic. It takes time after marriage to make that transition from “me” to “us.”One reason is that all of us come to marriage with ingrained habits. These are the things that steal joy from our relationship, keep us from walking in unity and practicing cooperation, and can even weaken our resolve to stay committed.Continue Listening to Team Us for 3 Ways to Practice Patience, Persistence, and Grace:Apple Podcasts: https://apple.co/4019Wwi Spotify: https://spoti.fi/403J3Io LifeAudio: https://www.lifeaudio.com/team-us/why-becoming-a-team-takes-time-and-thats-okay

I was happy to welcome Ashleigh Slater back to join me around my kitchen table. She was my second guest 2 years ago. We have a conversation about braving sorrow. We talk about loss—loss of jobs, houses, dreams, control, and even life. Loss can make for a hard season that we sometimes end up walking through alone. We sometimes don’t feel like we have the permission to grieve losses. We compare our losses and feel like ours isn’t worth grieving. She talks about her “weeping years” where she walked through a number of losses in a couple of years. And what she shares what she learned about herself, her community and her God because of it. What did you enjoy about this episode? What was your takeaway. Let's continue the conversation on Instagram or Twitter or you can send me an email here. Thank you for following along life with me. I love being apart of your day. And as always, I hope this show helps you survive a little easier.
Life is hard. But one of the things that makes it hard is that there's so much good...that we sometimes have to let go. If you are going through a season of loss, listen in on an honest (no trite, pat answers allowed) yet encouraging talk with author Ashleigh Slater, who knows a thing or two about braving the sorrow of saying goodbye to some of life's good things.
On this week's episode, Sarah chats with Ashleigh Slater, author of Team Us--a book about how couples can work together as a team.
